Personally, I use the word
sadhana to differentiate a period of time to devote to a
specific home practice that has an intention, various components that align with the chosen intention, and is a daily practice for a
specific period of time with a start and an end date.
It also helps to dedicate a
specific space to your
sadhana, such as an altar or room in your home that you decorate with meaningful things that act as reminders to your greater purpose.
